DASH, or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, is a diet plan that is intended to lower the blood pressure of people who have hypertension. The main goal of this diet is to control and limit the amount of sodium that a person consumes each day. Foods that have a high content of calcium, potassium and magnesium are encouraged.

While on the DASH diet, a person will be eating primarily fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dairy products that are low in fat. While legumes, poultry and fish are also allowed, it is recommended that a person on the DASH diet limit their intake of red meat and foods that are high in fat and cholesterol.
